💅 ice_vsi_set_outer_port_vlan(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — this is the page for ice_vsi_set_outer_port_vlan, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big rules." let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vsi_set_outer_port_vlan — the public version of __ice_vsi_set_outer_port_vlan. that's it, that's the name. the underscore-to-double-underscore pipeline is real, iykyk 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_vsi_set_outer_port_vlan (struct ice_vsi *vsi , struct ice_vlan *vlan );

like, she takes two pointers and hands you back an int. classic. no cap.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vsi — the VSI you're configuring, bestie. this is the thing getting the glow-up.
  • vlan — the ice_vlan structure used to set the port VLAN. she's the payload. she's the moment. 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what she actually does: she sets the outer port VLAN via the VSI context. that's the whole vibe check.

now the important part, and i need you to hear me on this 🚨 — this function should only be used if DVM is supported. no DVM? no dice. periodt.

also, and this is the big one: this function should never be called directly. like, never. it should be part of ice_vsi_vlan_ops if it's needed. so if you're out here calling it straight-up in your own code, that's not main character energy, that's a bug. 😭

what she does do: she takes the ice_vlan structure you passed in and uses it to set this VSI into a port VLAN. use the struct, set the VLAN, slay.

lowkey crucial recap: DVM required, don't call it directly, goes through ice_vsi_vlan_ops when it's actually needed.
